About our care home fish and chips in Round Street
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Whether it’s sheltered housing get-togethers and themed afternoons, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural care homes near Round Street can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer visit in Round Street, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Where the van can park in Round Street
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Close to the garden or entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan portion sizes with us
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
